Chapter 167 Caught
Chi Rong glanced slightly to the side and looked back, a sense of dread quickly welling up inside him.
Lingqi had already caught up to its side, several heads staring fiercely at it, seemingly determined to tear it apart.
At their peak, their strength was almost equal, but now they are nowhere near as good. If they were to actually fight, it would definitely be at a disadvantage.
This idiot is much faster than it thought...
Chi Rong looked back at the island that had long since disappeared from sight on the sea behind him, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally managed to lure it away from that place.
"Chi Rong! You think you can escape?" Ling Qi sneered, his sharp teeth grinding together. "Years have passed, and your strength has declined significantly. You were never my match before, and you are even less likely to beat me now."
"I can't beat you..." Chi Rong suddenly spoke in a sinister tone, its flying speed suddenly slowing down, and then it swung its tail violently, striking the head closest to it.
"I can't even beat you up."
A loud and clear sound echoed high in the sky.
Lingqi was caught off guard and its head was buzzing. It was momentarily stunned, but the daze only lasted for a moment.
It suddenly snapped back to its senses, glaring furiously at the figure ahead. After a roar, it suddenly increased its speed, leaving only a blurry afterimage in its wake.
A sharp, piercing sound suddenly erupted, reaching Chi Rong's exact rear in an instant.
Without saying a word, it opened its mouth and bit down hard on its tail!
The sharp fangs pierced through the incredibly tough scales and embedded themselves directly into the flesh, causing blood to splatter instantly.
Ling Qi's crimson eyes were filled with a chilling killing intent, and her hoarse voice was sinister: "Damn you! You still dare to provoke me."
It took a few deep breaths and said, "I don't have time to play around with you right now. Since you said you swallowed the beast core, then come with me to your master to atone for your sins."
Having said that, he didn't waste any more words.
A surge of immense spiritual power erupted from his body, its terrifying pressure almost engulfing the entire sea surface.
Its massive body swayed, waving its enormous tail, creating a powerful and unparalleled gust of wind that caused the surrounding space to tremble slightly.
Immediately afterwards, he slammed down hard on Chi Rong's back!
"boom!"
A muffled sound like thunder echoed through the sky, and ripples from the burst of spiritual energy spread outwards in all directions.
The force of this strike was not restrained in the slightest.
Almost the instant the attack came, Chi Rong launched a counterattack, but even so, it was still severely injured.
As the body bent downwards, a bone-shaving pain immediately shot through the spine, as if the bones had been forcibly broken.
It couldn't help but roar, and the crimson flames enveloping it rapidly burned along the spiritual energy path.
Ling Qi was secretly alarmed and quickly withdrew his spiritual power.
Taking advantage of the moment before it could recover from the pain, the python coiled its body, and its sharp teeth, covered in bluish-black venom, pierced through the crimson scales once more, biting hard into its bony wing.
Chi Rong lost his balance and nearly fell.
Its body flipped over, and the red and white spiritual energy surged wildly, slamming heavily into the several heads that were reaching out.
High above the sea, countless strange lights flashed, accompanied by continuous muffled thunderous sounds.
The clouds and mist within a hundred miles had long been swept away by this terrifying force.
The sunlight poured down directly, forming a huge pillar of light that enveloped the two figures, one in darkness and one in light. They collided violently, as if determined to fight to the death.
"boom!"
Another deafening roar followed.
The scales on Chi Rong's body fell off, revealing horrifying flesh and blood, from which fresh blood slowly oozed, making the entire python's body a bloody mess.
It let out a low groan, and as its body was slammed down again, it could no longer hold on, its body went limp, and it plummeted rapidly toward the sea below.
Damn it, with my current strength, it's really difficult to go up against this idiot...
“Useless thing, if it weren’t for my master’s orders, I would have killed you long ago!” Ling Qi’s eyes were bloodshot as he spoke in a sinister voice.
Millions of years ago, the master obtained the beast core of the ancient Fiery Phoenix, but it unfortunately lost it on the way.
In those years, it kept searching. Although it had sensed the appearance of beast cores, their locations were constantly changing and their auras were extremely unstable.
Since it completely disappeared hundreds of years ago, it has been impossible to sense it again. The loss of the beast core has prevented its master from breaking through that bottleneck...
It was punished for this, and the punishment continues to this day. If it hadn't sensed the reappearance of the beast core and its master's inability to leave, it would never have been able to get out of that place!
The thought of that terrifying place made Lingqi shudder; it never wanted to stay there again…
The master ordered that the beast core must be brought back today, but now this damned fellow has swallowed it!
How could it not be angry?
Suddenly, as if sensing something.
Lingqi froze, trembling slightly. Several heads looked up, nodding timidly.
Without daring to waste any more words, he moved swiftly and headed towards the sea.
Its long tail swept across, quickly and forcefully holding onto Chi Rong's body, which was about to fall into the sea.
At the same time, an invisible force tore a huge gash in the sky.
Without hesitation, Lingqi immediately dragged Chirong up and flew towards the tear.
Two enormous figures rushed in one after the other, and as they completely disappeared inside, the torn entrance quickly closed tightly.
A flash of white light, and it vanished completely into the sky.
Although the entire sea area has returned to its open state, it is utterly silent, devoid of any living creature.
After a long time, the clouds slowly swirled in this direction, the seabirds soared freely again, and the sea creatures and monsters poked their heads out once more.
The place has finally been restored to its original state, as if the previous fight was just an illusion.
……
Crescent Island.
As the floodwaters receded, the people on the island returned from the higher ground to the lower-lying areas.
Even after the commotion had subsided, they were still unable to recover from their shock.
The spirit pet brought by the clan's benefactor turned out to be a divine beast...
Furthermore, the legendary Yamata no Orochi (Eight-Headed Serpent) has actually descended upon this place.
They witnessed two mythical beasts in an instant... Some people sat on the shore staring blankly at the distant sea, while others were excitedly chattering away.
Of course, the majority are people who are so terrified that they can't stop trembling.
Lin Miao stayed by the clan leader's side and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that his breathing had stabilized.
Fortunately, it was only a minor injury, and he recovered quickly after taking the medicine.
Her face was heavy with melancholy, and she had no idea what the situation was like in the Netherworld Valley.
The Second Elder has already gone to settle the people of the clan. After Father regains consciousness, he will go to open the entrance to the Netherworld Ravine again.
Hopefully, Guan Xun can hold on until they come to his rescue...
